Hi Eric,
Is this Lower's nebula as you've labelled it? Steve Teel has it designated as BBW056 which I believe it is.
Perhaps you were working on both and just misposted this, very easy to do with these less often imaged DSOs.

Yes, I saw that and TL defines it as BBW056 as well. I think its part of Lower's Nebula which is why I labeled this as a narrow field view. I think TL and Steve are correct about the designation though. I derived the name I used by looking up the location of some of the stars in the image and then following through with objects in the area, so I likely used too broad of an area.
